we went to a market on the outside of viengchan - going to markets are one of my favorite things by the way - everything about it.
well, really this is my favorite thing about the market. i have eaten mangosteens so many times in the past week, i shoulda had my fill, but i don't think it's possible. if i was gonna get the option for a last meal before i died, mangosteen would be on the menu. and this might delay my executioners until they could get a trip to Laos to pick it up for me.
all the different types of sticky rice that you can find in Laos. in the usa, you can't get sticky rice from Laos, just what is imported from thailand.
so there are not only crickets, but crickets and crickets, and more types of crickets. (each type of crickets have their own name, and each has a different flavor. i know, because i tried one of each until i settled on my two favorites that i purchased to take with me. i couldn't find cool ranch doritos in Laos, so this really is the next best thing,)
some real nice tib khao. i bought a couple since the ones the sell in the usa (imported from thailand again) are real ugly and cheaply made.

Imported from Tai?
ack somchai! i didn't even consider that the awesome looking tip khao i bought in Laos could've been made in thailand! but my Lao-bias forces me to reject that idea and continue to believe (possibly ignorantly) that my tip khao was M.I.Laos!
Where's your birthday cake?
I love the markets! Do the crickets at least taste like doritos?
i ate my cake. it was good. hahaha. the crickets didn't taste much like doritoes... more like lays original flavor.
Great, now I am trying to decide what I want for my last meal...I'm going to figure it out at church tomorrow.
for your last meal kim: let me recommend the more red-looking cricket. It was the best of those on the table.
Are those wild caught or farm raised? They look way too uniform, abundant, and well organized to be wild. Just sayin'...
you know what. that is a question i didn't even think to ask. i guess i was just too interested in noticing the subtle differences in flavors of the bugs... but next time i am there: i will definitely ask that question!
